UFC has become a go-to weekend plan for fans worldwide, offering nonstop action, thrills, and entertainment for hours, from the early prelims to the main event. It’s something people enjoy with friends, family, or even solo. But with no UFC card scheduled this weekend, the usual excitement is missing. Gilbert Burns seems to be feeling the absence, too, as he shared that he’s missing the action badly, echoing the mood of fight fans everywhere.
On X, Burns perfectly captured that feeling with a simple post, sharing a crying emoji and writing “no fights,” showing that even fighters miss the action when the cage stays closed. Throughout the year, apart from the Christmas and New Year holidays, the Dana White-led UFC delivers fight cards almost every weekend.
No fights 😢

It’s rare for the promotion to take a break, which makes a quiet weekend like this one feel unusual for the entire MMA community. But fans have good news to look forward to: The action returns next weekend.
